Don Luciano Heavy combat pancake Registered 25/10/2006 Points 380	3rd August, 2009 at 17:42:01 - Uh to explain, i get a number from 1-20. and i want to get from that number the certain percent. I hope you understand, i just need some kind of formula, cause im not very good with math. So smaller numbers give a lot of % whilst far away number gives steadily nombers. thx... Code me a sausage!

I plot the points on a chart, tell it to add a trendline, and then get it to display the formula of the trendline. This looks like it should be approximately right: Y = Ln( X ) * -25.901 + 97.812 Just for the sake of it, I'd probably use slighly more "round" numbers, like "Ln( X )* -25 + 100" Edited by Sketchy n/a
Don Luciano Heavy combat pancake Registered 25/10/2006 Points 380	3rd August, 2009 at 22:21:50 - thx guys solved! and it was... 50*(√(x)/√(20)) this Code me a sausage!

Sketchy Cornwall UK Registered 06/11/2004 Points 1971	4th August, 2009 at 00:29:41 - It's for calculating the distance between two points. For computers it's much faster than the usual method, because it doesn't use the square-root function, which is relatively slow. However, it's always accurate to within 6%, and usually to within 3% of the actual distance. I originally found it on wikipedia, but it doesn't seem to be there any more. This site explains all: http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Euclidean_distance/ n/a

I think he used it for Gridquest to determine when some of his enemies shot projectiles at the hero. I could be wrong (??) -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies. Click here to see them all." "To be a true ninja you must first pick the most stealthy of our assorted combat suits. Might I suggest the bright neon orange?" DXF Games, coming next: Hasslevania 2- This Space for Rent!
